What We Like

  • It has 3,996 reviews, the fifth largest review base among managerial chairs.
  • The arms flip up, per the title.
  • BIFMA is the certification the listing names.

Watch Out For

  • Adjustability is 1, tying for the second lowest among managerial chairs; the arms earn 1 of 10 and every other adjustment line scores zero: advanced tilt, tilt tension, tilt lock, recline, lumbar adjustment, seat depth and seat height.
  • Its Comfort Index of 12 ties for the sixth lowest among managerial chairs, because the cushion, thickness, recline, breathability, headrest and arms parts all score zero.

At a Glance

Grey leather and flip-up armrests define this Amazon Basics executive chair, which stands 40 to 43 inches tall overall.

Who This Chair Is For

  • Buyers who want the cable-actuated tilt the spec details name.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Cable-actuated tilt and oversized casters
